Saint-Gaudens style was top class, aslo I think he had a fine touch because ir's really hard to do that in bronze material. I really like his works, they are big with a lot of details and they trasmit something when you see it. The "Robert Shaw" sculpture is really good that's why it's called one of the greatest sculptures of the 19th century. I like this sculpture for what it represent. It represent the union, the patriotism and the liberty, a part of America forgetting their racial prejudices and getting together to fight against a common enemy. But I also liked the "Sherman Monument", because it's different from the other sculpture, this one you can see every it from evety angle and the other one was just in a wall also gives me another reason to go visit NY! I really want to go there! Respect to the coins, I'm not a coin collector and I've always thought that they are just money, it doesn't matter what you draw on them.
I lived in the Boston area while I was getting my master's degrees at Boston University, and I got to see the Shaw Memorial in person, which was a great experience.
